Here's what I've used for a few years when caulking with most versions of
goop, especially the polysulfide-based stuff like 3M 101 and BoatLife's
Life Caulk. Works well. The guys at my local rig shop taught me this.
Use denatured alcohol (available at your local hardware store) and a roll of
toilet paper to clean up excess caulking. Use each TP sheet once and throw
it away. Keep a large brown paper bag nearby to throw each sheet of TP away
after one wipe.
Wear cheap latex gloves and change them when you get gook on them, or else
you'll find you smeared it everywhere on the boat.
Use blue 3M masking tape around hardware to keep the mess off the gelcoat,
especially near non-skid. Remove the masking tape before the goop sets.
Hope this works as well for you as it has for me! There's nothing like
working with gook and putty -- and getting it everywhere on yourself and the
boat!!!!
Fair winds,

I don't have any idea how to use that Boatlife stuff without it making a
mess. I kept acetone available to clean the excess and mess off the
hardware, tools and fingers.
